No.

Bucks are bigger and play harder on defense and you have to beat them. Davis is a great player, but, I've never seen him fight.

Look at Celtics championship teams of the past.

The players have to fight for a title and there aren't enough fighters in that group.
The Bucks also have 3 of their most important players' impending free agency to think about in Mirotic, Lopez & Middleton. Could be a completely different team
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Al Horford
Anthony Davis
Gordon Hayward
Jaylen Brown
Kyrie Irving

 Who knows what the bench will look like. I'd like to hear some suggestions of veterans that may play for a discount on this team.

 let's just say for the sake of this argument this team stays together for 4 years so they bring home at least one or two championships.

That is a championship team for sure.

I'm hoping Ainge can get it done soon.

Anthony Davis will have a real shot at a championship in Boston.

Just like Kevin Garnett was irrelevant when he was with the Wolves, Anthony Davis, moving from Orleans to Boston, will be able to show that he's an MVP candidate because he will be winning games in Boston.

What is with the 'pipedream' comments? Isn't that line-up the most likely scenario for this upcoming season? I always assumed DA would do whatever it takes to bring AD to Boston. I know Kyrie's future is a little more dicey, but if he knows AD is coming here and that this would still be 'his' team, I think he would realize this would be a great opportunity.
